 Run
Comments: The was my first ever foot race so I was a little nervous about what to expect but really excited because I knew I could do this distance and do it well. Having only raced in Tri's, it was a little weird seeing 90% of the people with Ipods. I lined up about 3/4 of the way back because I figured that's where I'd finish at. It was kind of funny how nearly all 300 people started running at 9min/miles. It was 10-20mins before the crowd really separated. I couldn't believe I saw people walking 2miles in... did they not know how far a HM was? After a few miles in I started making my move. Pace didn't change much but I'd run to a person that was ahead of me and run beside them for a minute. Then, it was off to the next person. Because it was so cold and rainy, I didn't drink much water. Around mile 8 or 9 I started dumping the fuel belt bottles I knew I wouldn't need to finish. I really started pushing it with 2miles left and was doing ok. Then there was a good sized hill on the last .5 mile. That hill hurt! Heart, lungs, and calves were on fire as I tried desperately not to drop my pace. I survived and couldn't be happier with my time. 1 @ 08:37 2 @ 08:44 3 @ 08:42 4 @ 08:50 5 @ 08:42 6 @ 08:33 7 @ 08:26 8 @ 08:41 9 @ 08:25 10 @ 08:13 11 @ 08:11 12 @ 07:54 13 @ 07:26 What would you do differently?: Can't think of anything.

Next time seed yoursealf up ahead of what you think you will finish. That way the crowd opens up quicker and it doesn't take so long for you to get up to pace. Way to go! |

Got up at 2:45am and had a bagel and waffles. Got there around 6:30 and got my chip and number. It was cold and rainy and windy and I was actually a little excited about it. My last long run was in the POURING rain and brisk wind and I did really well with it so a little mist would be nothing.
Just ran halfway around the stadium and back twice. 5min 'til I handed my jacket to my parents and headed to the line. I couldn't believe how many people were running with long sleeves, jackets, raincoats and plastic bags. At the 1mile mark, nearly everybody was taking them off.
